First let me say that I do regard Tolstoy as one of the most insightful writers of the last several hundred years-his book The Kingdom of God Is Within You is brilliant and life changing. Tolstoy's deconstruction of the French Symbolist Poets in his book What Is Art as devoid of any meaning and morally bankrupt arrives through a kind of literalism which haunts novelists and often demands a linear story line. It is much like insisting all paintings should be of the realist variety on the grounds that one would rather look at a photograph.
